CRS 231-Inspirations for my dream dress

I have never been good at drawing or sketching, hence the reason why I went with the retailing side of the CARS program. I have, however, been pretty imaginative. I created a dress in my mind a couple years ago and deemed it my dream dress. It has not changed since I thought of it years ago (I believe it was around prom time), which means to me that it is really something special.
Every woman dreams of attending a sort of event that where they could wear such a dress that would make them look and feel more beautiful. I don't think that I have any specific inspiration for this dress, it seems to be a combination of things in the fashion world that inspire me and also styles that would be flattering on my body. My personal favorite color to wear is black, needless to say the dress is black. I have always thought that it looks best on blondes, really off-setting the hair color. The dress is cut out in the back, revealing a large portion of it, dipping all the way down to my lower back. I did this for two reasons, one being that an open back has always been a sexy, yet classy, way to show skin, and secondly because I like the look of my back. The top of the dress wraps around my dress, opposite of how a halter top would, embellished with intricate beading. This would draw the eye to the top of the dress, drawing closer attention to my shoulders and neck, another part of a woman's body that has always been more feminine and sexy. From there down, the dress is simple, flowing black chiffon all the way to the floor. I recognize that this kind of dress would be not only difficult to make but also difficult to wear, especially considering the cut out back. The sides of the dress would have to be taped down to the sides of me, to ensure that no one could see inside the dress.
I have recently been trying on bridesmaids dresses for my sister's wedding and I found a dress that is similar to the dress I have created in my mind. It is made out of the same material and has the open back that I love so much. It was almost as if I was wearing the dress I had imagined for so long. Perhaps, by trying on more dresses over the next couple months, I will become inspired to change my dream dress, or maybe even create a new one.
